Their “backups” when saving your work, have a pretty small “quota”. I was going to the end of my third chapter with around 3900 words and suddenly when I went to another chapter change an issue before coming back.....700 of those words I’d just written were gone. Just gone. When I went to the main backup page I noticed a little red bar off to the left that said “Quota”. That’s all.
Apparently, you have to remember to delete old backups or else no new backups will work. No warning system. Nothing telling you “ hey, you are close to your quota of backups, better start deleting some!”. Nope. Nothing.

I can’t believe a writing app has this much of a glaring issue. It was pretty devastating to lose an ending to a chapter that i can never get back and have to start over again. Writing isn’t something you just “remember”. When it flows and the muse is hitting? You can’t lose a bunch of it and go “ oh it’s ok, i’’ll just go rewind on my brain and recover it”. Never using this app again. Do yourself a favor and find an app that has the best interests of a writer in mind. This one certainly does NOT.

Hey guys! I really hope the developers read this- if you do, plz reply! Anyways, this could be an awesome app, honestly, if it weren’t for the messy setup. I find it claustrophobic and messy. When I first go in I suppose it’s fine? A little unwelcoming but I don’t really mind. Then when I tried to create a chapter, it wouldn’t let me type a title. I didn’t really have one in mind anyway, so I let it slide, you know? Then I went to type the actual story and it wouldn’t even let me type, not to mention everything crowding around the typing space so I could hardly see.
I feel like this has a lot of potential, but it’s been a little messily designed. Anyway, I’ll give it another go in a couple weeks and I’ll update if my experience turned out better.
Thanks so much for reading and please have an awesome day!!

I absolutely love this app but it’s giving me fits lately. I’ll be logged in and it will work fine while I’m using it, but after I close it for a while and get back on it again, it won’t load my stuff. I’ve logged out and tried logging back in. It’s worked once but I ended up having the delete it the next time it happened. After reinstalling, I logged in and it worked fine again, until I closed it and got back on it later.. That time, again, wouldn’t load my stuff so I logged out to try again like before, but it wouldn’t let me log back in. On the login screen I entered my email address but it took me to the create account screen even though I already have an account with that email address. Please fix this, I really love this app and I really don’t want to lose my progress!
Btw, I have an iPhone X with the latest version of iOS if you need to know that...
